  • Amazing vocal sound, sturdy, but touch controls need improvement - average WFH "Zoom-dweller" review Amazing vocal sound, sturdy, but touch controls need improvement - average WFH "Zoom-dweller" review
Color: Silver
I'll start right off by saying that the Shure MV7 is an excellent USB microphone, as the vocal clarity and general audio output are an (obvious) upgrade over your average laptop's internal mic. This is marketed as a podcast microphone, though even I am not one of the users in that camp. Instead, I just needed a quality USB microphone for both video conferencing meetings and to record lectures at my college. My previous USB mic was a Zoom H1 recorder, and after weeks of online meetings day in and day out, I started to realize how much better these meetings would go without being asked repeatedly by a coworker to repeat myself or intermittently telling me that they have a hard time hearing me. So by no means am I an audio engineer with enough knowledge for a deep critique on the MV7's audio output (I'll let the other Amazon reviewers handle that area!), but Shure's creators don't intend for this to replace their higher end mics, such as the SM7B. Despite the fact that there is an XLR connection here, the MV7 isn't meant for those trying to get perfect, industry studio-quality sound or music recordings, but that's the point. Instead, if you're needing a mic for podcasting, live-streaming, or surviving Zoom calls, this is one of the best options out there, with enough monitoring options and room for configuration to get the most out of this gorgeous piece of hardware. The whole construction of the mic, right down to the attached mounting bracket, feels incredibly sturdy and premium. Despite only a few days of usage as of writing this review, I have very little concern about its long-term durability. Even the back, metal-rimmed headphone jack port has better quality than what you'll find in most laptops these days (if they include one, of course). Knowing users may opt for a desk microphone arm stand, the included USB cables are thankfully long. When you plug it in via USB, it takes a few seconds to register on your computer each time; there's a row of green lights that breathe while this happens. As a small note, I plan to purchase an arm stand in the future, but for now I have an On-Stage desktop stand that fits perfectly with this mic. It's a simple stand, but I recommend it nonetheless. As I mentioned earlier, I can't speak to the nuances of the MV7's audio quality compared to those who've actually had experience in the studio or recorded with decent sound mixing knowledge. But from my perspective of being the average person working from home and having a day filled with online meetings and lectures, I'm very impressed with how my voice sounds from this mic. Not only does my voice sound crystal clear, but even the echoes bouncing from my high ceilings and the inevitable street noise from outside my window are nowhere to be heard when I record audio from the MV7. Vocals are top priority for this product, hence the brand's naming of this being a podcast microphone. I do agree with Engadget's Devinda Hardawar - one of the first tech writers who wrote about the MV7 - that the plosives, or the "p" sounds, don't sound as perfect as you'd hope compared to what you normally hear in broadcast audio vocals or some high-profile live streamers, but that could very well because of my own loud, bright voice. Likewise, an additional pop filter mask may alleviate this very minor distortion. The software Shure recommends you use is ShurePlus MOTIV, a desktop app available for free on their website. The desktop app is useful enough for users like me, as they include Auto Level settings, which includes configuring for vocal tone and adjusting for microphone position, and Manual settings that allow you adjust the audio gain, EQ, and amount of sound compression. You can save presets and, for macOS at least, the MOTIV app automatically recognizes the Shure MV7 device once you plug it into the computer. Those looking to configure every single frequency and fine-tune the settings even deeper should look beyond MOTIV. In the near future, I hope to update this review with more scientific audio tests, ones that include both USB and XLR output (I'm still looking for the right audio interface). If there's one gripe I have to make about the Shure MV7 so far, it's that I'm not a fan of the touch interface built on the mic. There were plenty of instances where I had to tap an icon or swipe the volume slider multiple times in order for it to respond. The buttons, themselves, also could be bigger, because they were small even for my slim fingers to tap without accidentally touching the adjacent volume slider too. Though not entirely bad, I question why Shure didn't just go with physical controls, such as the volume dial seen in the Blue Yeti Pro. Buttons, whether touch-enabled or physical, aren't exactly needed, since the aforementioned ShurePlus MOTIV app is available, and contains the same controls along with a whole lot more options. Even the location of the touch panel won't suit everyone. I imagine some users might be used to grabbing the middle of the mic to adjust the angle - and the middle just so happens to be where the touch panel is located. Fortunately, you can actually go without ever needing to use the controls if you end up not loving them like me: holding both the Mute icon and the Monitor mix icon for at least two seconds will lock the whole touch panel, indicated by a red light next to a lock icon on the same panel. Of course, it's a matter of successfully getting those two icons to respond first! Perhaps Shure may release firmware that improves these touch controls in the future. Everything else about the Shure MV7, though, is near-perfect. I think having a microphone like this for your computer really makes working with meetings from home much more manageable. The $249 price tag is a worthy investment and easily beats whatever laptop internal mic or cheap, uncomfortable headset you've been stuck with. I'll update this review as time progresses, but for now I give it my highest recommendation! [An important warning when first unboxing: for me, the screws holding the mic to the mounting bracket were NOT tightly fastened out of the box. One could easily hold it by the bracket and unknowingly cause the mic to wobble out and drop. Hopefully this is not the case for everyone, but you should keep that in mind when before grabbing the mic from the packaging for the first time; hold it by the mic, not the bracket!] ... show more

  • What a perfect mic
The Shure MV7 (Limited Edition) USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone is an amazing piece of equipment. This microphone is perfect for podcasting, streaming, and voiceovers. The build quality is top-notch and the sound quality is simply outstanding. One of the things I love about the MV7 is the dual USB/XLR output. This means you can connect it to your computer via USB, or to a mixer or audio interface via XLR. This is great if you want the flexibility to record in different environments. The MV7 also has a built-in headphone jack with zero-latency monitoring, which is really helpful if you're recording in a noisy environment. The MV7 has a cardioid polar pattern, which helps to reduce background noise and focus on the sound source. This is great if you're recording in a noisy environment, or if you want to isolate the sound of a single person. The microphone also has a built-in shock mount that helps to reduce handling noise, which is great if you're using it in a mobile setting. The sound quality of the MV7 is simply amazing. The microphone has a frequency response that's tailored for speech, which means your voice will sound clear and natural. The MV7 also has a built-in compressor and EQ that help to shape the sound, which is great if you want to add a little extra warmth or presence to your voice. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase of the Shure MV7 (Limited Edition) USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone. It's a high-quality microphone that's versatile, easy to use, and produces excellent sound quality. If you're in the market for a new microphone, I highly recommend giving the MV7 a try. ... show more

  • Podcast-Ready Straight Out of the Box – Crystal Clear Audio!
Color: Black
The Shure MV7 is hands down the best microphone I’ve used for podcasting and streaming—it’s like having a professional studio in a compact, easy-to-use package. What really sold me was the dual USB/XLR option. I started using it via USB and got incredible sound right away, but I love knowing I can level up with XLR when I expand my setup. The voice-isolating technology is no joke—it keeps background noise out and captures my voice with amazing clarity, even in a noisy home environment. The all-metal build feels premium and durable, and the touch panel controls on the mic itself are a nice touch. The built-in headphone output is super convenient for real-time monitoring, and it’s fully compatible with Zoom and TeamSpeak, which makes work calls and game chats sound ultra-clean. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned content creator, this mic delivers professional-grade sound without the hassle. I’ve gotten compliments on my audio quality since switching to the MV7. Totally worth the investment! ... show more

  • BEST MIC. You couldn't buy this quality anywhere else at this price...
Color: Black
The single most incredible mic I've ever owned. I never doubted it would be, I'm a research-a-holic. I try and find the best bang for my buck and budget. I always looked back at the sm7b and knew it was a bit out of my range for what it required and ALOT of people badtalk this mic because they expect the sm7b....well unless your willing to drop and extra 800 dollars on top of the 400 for that mic, sorry, you're not going to get the sound you want. And people get critical of this mic, comparing to the sm7b. Why? I'm sorry. But I have friends with sm7bs. As a content creator, having a clear and golden sound while live with the amount of sound that does play through whether it's games or music or other people. This mic stands in a different category against them. This mic literally delivers damn near EVERYTHING the sm7b does, and obviously not quite that signature broadcast and output the sm does, but it's close. And you don't need to have a cloud lifter or phantom power. You don't even need XLR, though it is always nice, but the micro USB alone helps it push SO much more than I ever expected . Let's put it this way... I'm a bit of an audiophile. I'm picky. I won't deny it. I listen to others all day long and watch streams and videos all the time, and I can't stand bad audio. Music even, singing, rapping whatever your are doing, can't do the bad audio. Even for myself. I purchased a crappy cheap cardioid thinking it was going to help me push audio quality on another level than my headset mic. It didn't. I have a Logitech g pro x with a blue mic and that mic was LEAGUES ahead of my snowball, and even my yeti frankly with the adjustments I could make. And that dives into another point....audio tuning. I've used audacity and voicemod for all my tuning. I plugged this mic in and put it through its paces. I downloaded motiv, used it a little and it is basic. I thought I needed more. I shut it down and used my good ol audacity andnvoicemod and I was told that the difference was noticeable but not that much. I had audio issues. I dealt with alot. Finally got fed up and deleted audacity and voice mod and all thenfilters and plug-ins I have in obs and said screw it, just gonna run it with nothing and so be it because I'm tired with how much time I spend working. And TONS of people literally said woah. I literally got told they could just listen to me talk all day because of how incredible I sounded. How clean, and strong my voice came out. It literally elevated my audio with NOTHING on to what I wanted, and blew my mind. And after installing motiv and using the basic stuff. Literally running at at far with the dark setting on simple instead of advanced, more and more people have come to just listen and just talk as they have literally said it just sounds incredible and it's enjoyable and it's so clear and it feels like I'm actually talking to you. It's changed my life. For literally 250, yoy get one of the highest quality Podcaster and broadcasting mics you could ever own, which is reasonable. That is a bang for the buck. Don't hesitate, just buy it. ... show more

  • Unparalleled Sound Quality and a Touch of Luxury: My Shure MV7 Experience
Color: Black
Let me start by saying that the Shure MV7 USB Microphone has been an absolute game-changer for me. As a passionate podcaster, I am constantly seeking ways to elevate the quality of my recordings and create a premium experience for my listeners. The MV7 has proven to be the perfect companion on this journey, delivering exceptional sound quality and a touch of luxury that sets it apart. From the moment I first used the MV7, I was blown away by its sound reproduction capabilities. It captures my voice with such clarity and precision that I can't help but feel like a professional broadcaster. Every word is crisp, every nuance is captured, and the result is a recording that sounds polished and professional. Not only does the MV7 excel in performance, but it also adds a touch of elegance to my podcasting setup. The sleek, all-metal design exudes a sense of luxury that instantly elevates the aesthetic of my recording space. It's a microphone that not only sounds amazing but looks the part too, creating a visually pleasing environment that enhances my overall podcasting experience. Now, I must admit that there is one minor drawback I've encountered—the included pop filter. While it does a decent job of reducing plosive sounds, I found that it falls short of my expectations. The harsh pops caused by strong puffs of air still managed to find their way into my recordings. To address this, I plan to invest in a higher-quality pop filter to further enhance the audio quality and eliminate those pesky plosives once and for all. Despite this minor inconvenience, the Shure MV7 has truly transformed my podcasting journey. It has allowed me to create content that stands out, capturing the attention of my audience with its unparalleled sound quality. The investment in this microphone, although considered a luxury due to its price, has proven to be worth every penny. It provides a premium look and performance that rivals even the renowned Shure SMB7, while offering a more budget-friendly option for podcasters seeking top-tier sound. ... show more

  • Excellent choice for podcasters with flexibility of digital or analog connectivity
Color: Black
A friend and I have been talking about a podcast for years, long before we even knew what to call it. We still aren't there, but close enough to begin navigating the hardware and software. I did a lot research before landing on the MV7. The MV5C was a contender and I actually tried that one first – it is a fine mic but it was a bit too bright for me. I was sorely tempted to go for the SM7B, which has a stellar reputation (and a price tag to support that reputation.) Though the SM7B is nearly twice the cost of MV7, that fact alone did not steer me away -- I learned long ago that there is a cost for quality. In the end, my decision was based on three factors: 1. The MV7 was largely designed from the SM7B's blueprint: While the MV7 does not deliver quite the same richness as its predecessor, these two mics are very similar – honestly, given the $150 difference, they are close enough for my ears. Furthermore, Garageband with a decent audio interface should be able to compensate for any shortcomings. 2. Unlike the SM7B, the MV7 offers the flexibility of a digital (USB) or analog (XLR) connection: For me, this was a game-changer. For direct-to-computer connections, Shure provides a simple configuration app ("MOTIV") which provides some very cool configuration options (some of which are mentioned below.) 3. Variable pickup range and direct headphone monitoring: While the SM7B is amazing, it requires the user to speak directly into the mic and maintain close range. The Shure MOTIV app delivers some powerful configuration options to create presets for near and far pickup (up to 18" away). That means the mic can remain out of camera view for conference calls and still work really well. Plus, the built-in headphone monitor means you can hear yourself perfectly without the need to purchase additional hardware like an audio interface or headphone monitor. To summarize, at $249, the MV7 has inherited enough of the pro-level quality of the SMB7 to satisfy most podcasters. In addition, the MV7 offers some unique features that "big sister" cannot provide -- notably the dual USB and XLR output options and integrated headphone monitor. Singers may prefer to spend the extra money on the SMB7 but, for spoken voice, the MV7 is an all-one-powerhouse that's hard to beat. ... show more
